Hi Gang,
Can someone show me how to detect the name of the variable received by a
procedure? I'd really appreciate it. I would like the following code to
detect the name of the strStupid variable and output the string:

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strStupid As String

MsgBox "NameOf strStupid" & varname(strStupid)
End Sub
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I realize that functionally in a program there are a trillion ways to
workaround the need to know the variable name, but I want to know if you can
just detect it too.
Thanks in Advance,
Christian Blackburn

Hi Gang,
Woops looks like I posted this to the .Net group please disregard as I know
how to do this in .net, but I'm trying to do it in VB6.
Thanks any ways,
Christian Blackburn

AFAIS that's impossible for local variables, in both, VB.NET and VB
Classic.
